While I am waiting for Tracy to build my redrive I whipped out a
temporary starter mounting plate this afternoon. This way I can check
the compression and maybe run the engine if I get Tracy's EFI system
before the redrive arrives.

BTW Continental told me today the crank in the engine in my Cessna was OK.
So I should be flying that in a couple of weeks. I am keeping my fingers
crossed that there is not something else seriously wrong :-)

So, what is that plate made out of, Paul: Ply, particle board, or aluminum??

Buck eighty nine a pound 6061 T6 surplus aluminum. 1/2 inch thick.
3/4 ply would probably work.
